Chapter 37 The Purpose of the Party

The dinner is in progress.

Shen Tinglan still felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she only picked up two light and white dishes from the table.

In contrast, Lin Zhizhou only ordered spicy special dishes.

Team Leader Lin can really handle spicy food, Deputy Director Chen thought.

It turned out that the light dish was ordered for Comrade Xiao Shen. Deputy Director Chen guessed Lin Zhizhou's character from these small details.

Just talking about this character.

He who loves his wife will certainly be good.

Just as I was thinking about how to start the conversation, the door of the private room opened and the waiter came in with a large bowl of white rice. He placed it on the narrow cabinet on the left and then politely left.

The private room is not big. The ordinary round table for ten people is almost full, so there is not enough space to move around.

But this made Shen Tinglan feel much more comfortable. Compared with the previous two high-end banquets, this meal with Deputy Director Chen and Section Chief Chen was obviously more down-to-earth.

Restore real life conditions.

There wasn't much table etiquette, everyone ate their own food. Deputy Director Chen was very sensible. If he was entertaining guests from afar, he would only ask Team Leader Lin and the team members to eat more.

This action actually gained some goodwill among the members of the inspection team.

The difference between corruption and integrity is immediately apparent.

Although the place is ordinary, you can enjoy the authentic specialties of Jiangcheng. The place where you eat is not important, what is important is who you eat with and how you eat.

In the middle of the round table were two pots of buckwheat tea and several bottles of white wine.

Section Chief Chen was observing the situation at the dinner table at all times. Seeing that everyone had finished their dishes and filled their stomachs, he stood up and bent down to take the white wine in the middle of the table.

A calm voice came from the left.

"Chief Chen, there's no need to open the wine. We all have to go to work this afternoon, and we'll have to drive later."

Section Chief Chen paused as she opened the wine box. She reached for the teapot and said, "Then have some tea, have some tea."

Everyone nodded and placed their teacups on the glass turntable on the round table.

Shen Tinglan drank a glass of brown sugar water and ate some dishes. She felt her stomach was shaking "clang-dang clang", so she had to get some rice to fill it up.

He glanced at the rice bowl on the side and stood up halfway.

The noise was neither too loud nor too quiet. The man beside her understood and took the empty bowl from her hand: "Sit down, I'll get it."

The man turned around to serve the rice.

Shen Tinglan was speechless.

It's neither right to sit nor right to stand.

Both shy and happy.

So many people?

The big boss served her some food.

No one would believe it if I told them.

This is so inappropriate. There are so many eyes like hers in her peripheral vision.

Confused and stunned.

The days are getting better and better.

Lin Zhizhou served her some food.

If this was posted on the old campus network, it would be worshipped by three thousand dream girls.

It is also possible to be drowned by three thousand spitting water.

They would probably say she was blasphemous.

Thinking of this, Shen Tinglan roared in his heart.

Blasphemy is nothing, she still wants to do it.

"What are you daydreaming about? Here, finish your meal." The man stuffed a bowl of rice into her hands.

The delusion stops.

"Thank you." She smiled, her eyes curved.

Eat, eat, you must finish.

She finally turned her life around.

Lin Zhizhou glanced at the stunned people on his left and spoke calmly, "Why, you want me to serve it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

For a moment, the dishes and chopsticks collided and the turntable turned.

Shen Tinglan buried her head, pouted her lips and bit her chopsticks, her drooping eyes hidden by her eyelashes.

There is a starry sky in my eyes, which is an irresistible sweetness.

Interlude.

Deputy Director Chen brought up the topic.

He filled a cup of buckwheat tea, bowed slightly to the man who was sitting upright, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Team Leader Lin has worked hard these days, so let me have some tea instead of wine." After he finished speaking, he drank the tea in one gulp.

He immediately filled his glass again and said to the inspection team members, "Thank you for your hard work at the Public Security Bureau these past few days."

After finishing the tea, the members stood up to receive the tea and sat down again.

The man did not stand up, but brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip.

His tone was calm: "Deputy Director Chen, you picked a good place."

Deputy Director Chen smiled and said, "As long as Team Leader Lin is satisfied, it's fine. For a small place, what matters is its long history and its human touch."

Lin Zhizhou didn't answer, but just nodded slightly to show his agreement.

He worked in Yunnan Province for four years, and his taste for food gradually changed from light to strong, and from bland to spicy.

Perhaps he wanted to experience the local customs and culture of her city so much that even his stomach and intestines changed.

While thinking, his eyes fell on the side of him. The woman was busy eating, revealing a section of her slender neck.

A little tanned.

The corners of the man's eyes were slightly raised, and a happy look filled his eye sockets.

"Team Leader Lin, my brother and I have something to ask of you today."

Deputy Director Chen's voice rang out.

Lin Zhizhou's expression became restrained, and his gaze moved from near to far, landing on Deputy Director Chen's face.

There was a pause.

He said, "Oh? I don't know how I can help."

Deputy Director Chen humbly said, "Team Leader Lin, I'm ashamed to say that Comrade Xiao Shen was implicated in the hotel incident. It was indeed our fault first. Today, we are just trying to give it a try. I hope Team Leader Lin can show some leniency. If I'm lucky enough to be able to return to my post, that would be lucky. If not, that would also be fortunate."

At the end, Deputy Director Chen's voice sounded quite regretful.

He signaled to Section Chief Chen again, and Section Chief Chen took a black USB flash drive from his bag and placed it respectfully in front of Lin Zhizhou with both hands.

Deputy Director Chen continued, "I've been at the Public Security Bureau for over a decade. I deeply detest Fu Liangmin's actions and naturally disdain to get involved. I've privately collected some evidence, and if it can help Team Leader Lin, that would be great."

After those words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

The man thought for a moment, then said calmly, "Deputy Director Chen, why are you so self-deprecating? You've handled 2,389 cases, and you've handled every one of them with justice and integrity. Your office must be piled high with banners."

Deputy Director Chen was shocked and quickly exchanged a glance with Section Chief Chen.

It was obvious that he didn't even know how many cases he had handled over the years. After just a few days in Jiangcheng, Team Leader Lin was able to recount every case in detail.

For this, he had to admire his rigorous work attitude.

But Team Leader Lin was indeed right. There was absolutely no wrong case in the case he handled, and he still had confidence in this.

The man's gentle voice sounded again: "In this case, what can the Discipline Inspection Commission investigate you for? Deputy Director Chen."

"Having risen step by step from the grassroots level, he's still able to hold the position of deputy director in a public security bureau where Fu Liangmin has absolute power. Deputy Director Chen must have a very solid foundation."

"The Public Security Bureau has been very busy these past few days. Although you've been suspended from duty to inspect the case, no one knows the Public Security Bureau's cases better than you. Please come and assist them to speed up the progress."

His voice was calm and steady.

Deputy Director Chen felt that inviting Lin Zhizhou to dinner today was the best decision he had ever made.

He is from Kyoto and his reputation is well-deserved.

Most importantly, he is extremely upright and does not abuse his power for personal gain or engage in corruption.

Deputy Director Chen’s original intention, which he had maintained for many years, was finally responded to.

From the grassroots to everyone calling him Deputy Director Chen, it goes without saying that there were many hardships and difficulties.

Fortunately, the clouds will eventually clear and the moon will appear.

He replied in a resounding voice, "Don't worry, Team Leader Lin. I will do my best to cooperate."

Lin Zhizhou said gently, "Deputy Director Chen, there's no need to be so serious. I think you live up to the Party's motto, 'Serve the People Wholeheartedly.' Many people pay lip service to this motto, but few actually live it."

"Deputy Director Chen, what I want to ask is, do you know what the other two words before the Party's purpose are?"

Deputy Director Chen's expression froze, his mind was in turmoil, and after a few breaths, he couldn't savor it.

He humbly asked Lin Zhizhou for guidance.

The man raised the corners of his lips and said calmly: "Persist."

In an instant, Deputy Director Chen suddenly understood and calmed down.

He stood up and expressed his heartfelt admiration for Lin Zhizhou. Although Team Leader Lin was young, he was worthy of the supervisory position.

Deputy Director Chen said seriously: "Team Leader Lin, it is a blessing for Jiangcheng to have you come here." It is also luck.

Lin Zhizhou played with the black USB drive and changed the subject.

He said to Section Chief Chen in an unclear tone: "Where's Section Chief Chen? What do you think?"
